Visual Planning is a perfect project management platform which helps to improve collaboration

In summary, Visual Planning software is a powerful tool for project and resource management that offers a high degree of customization and a comprehensive set of features. I definitely recommend using thi app to business owners and employees who need a platform to manage/keep track of their time and projects efficiently.

PROS

Visual Planning software is user-frienly. It is very easy to start using it, and easy to learn how to navigate through it. It is an ideal choice for both beginners and advanced users.The software offers extensive customization abilities, allowing users to adapt it to their unique needs and workflows.Visual Planning platform comes with a wide range of features, including scheduling, resource management, project tracking, and reporting.The software is suitable for businesses of all sizes and industries. Also, Visual Planning offers a mobile app for iOS and Android, enabling users to access their schedules and data from anywhere at anytime.I enjoy using Visual Planning at work, and I recommend it to whoever wants a versatile project management application that can be used for collaborative work.

CONS

I do not have any dislikes. I can only mention one thing that can be enhanced in this platform. Visual Planning software does not integrate with many third-party tools, which may be a drawback for businesses that rely on a wide range of software applications. This capability can be improved to some extent in the platform.

Ferrari in a Corolla Design

PROS

The things I like most about Visual Planning is the specifically tailored use interface to our business model and needs - it provides a platform that fits our unique resource management and scheduling needs.

CONS

Visual planning is a smart tool that has a ton of functionality, but is almost too feature-rich. It is not very user-friendly, takes time to learn and customize to become fully self-sufficient and to fully optimize the software and workflows. It could use some digital design improvements to make it look and feel more comfortable and not so clunky.

Reason for choosing Visual Planning

Full-suite solution - the only platform that could combine project scheduling along with resource management properly and enough customizability

A good planning for Advertising Project and Finance

Good overall with my using and our team are happy with it.

PROS

We have a small Marketing team here, and with Visual Planning it gives us a different experience to plan our project and allocate our budget. More than that, we can analyze the result/performance with it.

There are some cons about this Visual Planning are that we are not able to customize the template or create another visuals that more attractive to our team. We'd love to use our color background.

Enjoy creating and configuring the software and continuously improving existing systems.

PROS

The ability to configure and leverage items inside the software and then add visual aids to specific items as they are configured. There are so many options to bend and leverage where it creates a new learning experience every day. This is the best for my role as systems become boring when learning stops.

CONS

Mostly, the ability to make a major change to the base configuration of Dimensions such as placing statuses all within a dimension or creating multiple Dimensions. This is just one example but not a major issue. My biggest issue is the ability to kick off individual users when they have not logged out. I have a global platform and sometimes licenses used in Europe and India are taken when the licenses are needed in the USA. I have to kick off all users in order to free up those licenses.

Reason for choosing Visual Planning

Stilog offered more as a package to our organization and they support provided has been above expectation.

Reasons for switching to Visual Planning

Tactic was cumbersome and we could not configure it. The support was not nearly as good as Stilog. Would take up to 2 days to get things working correctly and at the same time, the organization would not train nor share information for prevention, just that they were aware of the issue or realize why the issue occurred.

Vendor Response

Dear Lloyd, Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Visual Planning. We're delighted to hear that you enjoy creating and configuring the software to continuously improve your existing systems. Your appreciation for the flexibility of our platform and the ability to configure it to your unique needs is fantastic. We understand that the constant learning and adaptability are crucial in your role, and we're committed to providing a dynamic tool that keeps things engaging.

We're also pleased to know that you chose Visual Planning due to the comprehensive package offered by Stilog.

Revolutionary Tool that has changed the way we run our service department

PROS

The scheduling portion of Visual Planning was the main draw for our company to look into using Visual Planning for our service department. The additional ability of Visual Planning to customize the program to do many other things is what sealed the deal. Our implementation specialist was top notch and was highly involved throughout the process. We always felt that our needs were understood and would be met throughout the entire process. We had a large integration process since we are now using Visual Planning for every aspect that touches our service department from scheduling to service reports, quoting, invoicing, and timesheets. We are pleased that what we thought we were buying is what we ended up with as our end product. Overall we are very pleased.

CONS

We have a lot of integration and automation as part of our solution, so sometimes the system can be slow. We have been working on small changes to see if this can be improved, as we are only about 2 months into using VP on a day to day basis.

Reason for choosing Visual Planning

The customizability of Visual Planning was the main driver.
